They also brought us sangria even though sangria isn't a thing in this region. The restaurant is straightforward with tables and chairs and if there was decor, I didn't notice. The highlight is the food. The food is amazing. We tried a cheese thing, croquettes and even their version of Mexican tacos. I loved everything and had a hard time deciding which was my favorite. Frank is a gem and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to eat here. Definitely go here if you're in the area.

The espresso drinks are wonderful, the croissants buttery and fresh (no crumbling at all!), and I loved the bagel sandwich with smoked salmon, cheese, arugula.

We had the 3-course price-fixed menu, with a lovely asparagus salad, stewed veal, and a small dessert.

Wanted to like this place but can not recommend…read more We tried two variants of the set menu (reasonably priced at 10.30 Euros) that included a starter, a second course and a dessert. I had the shrimp and beans in a garlic sauce - very nice- and wife had the guacamole with sardines(also very nice). For the main I had the squid - generous portion not over cooked but tasted off (a bit like charcoal, bu that isn't quite it) and wife had the "secret pork". Stay away unless you like back fat! The desserts were carrot cake (more like carrot bread) with cream and mini Oreos (tasty) and I had strawberry mousse (also very good). While the staff spoke little English and I speak little Spanish, we made it work via google translate. We didn't understand that we could have ordered tapas instead of the set menu - seemed others enjoyed their tapas - so that would be the way to go, if you go.

Melt-in-your-mouth Octopus…read more This place is so good we went back the next time we were in A Coruña. It's also easy to get to - just a couple of short blocks from the main square (the one with the Obelisk). I have never had Octopus so tender and flavorful. The generous portion comes with potatoes, crusty bread and a starter for 20 Euros. Also enjoyed a couple of glasses of Estrella beer - so refreshing. Also recommend the Scallops and the Prawns. The staff is welcoming and attentive. If you have never tried Octopus, get out of you safety zone and give it a go - I'm betting you will be glad you did.

After spending four hours touring A Coruña and soaking in all its historical charm, we found…read moreourselves absolutely starving at 12:00 PM. The tour had mentioned that octopus is one of the most beloved dishes in A Coruña, so I knew I had to try it. But where? I turned to Yelp and searched for the best octopus nearby. My answer appeared almost immediately, A Taberna de Cunqueiro, just a five-minute walk through the enchanting old town, boasting nearly a 5-star rating with 37 reviews. When we arrived, the place was packed, buzzing with locals and tourists alike. Just as I was scanning the room, probably looking a bit lost, a friendly waitress caught my eye. With a big smile and a cheerful "hola," she seated us right away. She went above and beyond, recommending the best tapas selections to start, and before we even had a chance to order, she brought over a warm bowl of potaje and jamón ham con pan--such a thoughtful touch! We ordered two refreshing local draft beers, Estrella de Galicia, and dug into the delicious appetizers. The casa croquettes, Iberian ham, small scallops, and of course, the Galician octopus, were all simply amazing. Each bite was a true taste of Galicia's culinary brilliance. After a second round of beers, we were so stuffed that we had to call it a day just as they were preparing to close at 2:00 PM for their lunch break. This spot has an amazing vibe and you can tell it's one of the locals favorite as it reas full of young people adding to the energy. This place quickly became one of my favorite while in A Coruña and merits multiple visits. Did I also mention that owner was in the kitchen making sure this packed place functioned like a well oiled machine. The vibe is so authentic, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food? Unforgettable. I couldn't even imagine giving anything short of 5 star review definitely be back next time I'm in town!

You can't go to Coruña and leave without going to this popular bar which is an institution among…read morethe locals. It's located in the main eating-out area of Coruña so there is always the hustle and bustle of good atmosphere. It is very cheap, all tapas are 1€. I especially recommend the croqueta de jamon (ham croquette) which is massive and filled with visible chunks of ham (unlike most croquettes). Come here before lunch as an aperitivo or at night for a few tapas. Be warned though, it is always busy and you will most likely have to eat standing which is why I prefer to come here for a few and then move on to the next place.

My husband got a huge salad that had gorgeous produce with a pizza. The kids had spaghetti, pizza, ice cream and juice, courtesy of the kids menu. And, I had the handmade ravioli that was to-die-for. The menu also features a whole gluten-free section. :) The whole meal cost less than breakfast at the hotel. The service was a little off, but that's only because a concert in the plaza ended as our food was being served. If I had to deal with that onslaught of customers, I'd be a little off, too. Once the kids were done eating, they wandered out to play in the plaza and we could watch them from our terrace seating. Perfect.
